Beachfront vs Oceanview @ CSS

We're booking our honeymoon and are wondering what you would recommend between the Oceanview and the Beachfront Suites. The beachfront suites all have Jacuzzi. Is that right? Are the Jacuzzis nice or not worth it? On the other hand the Oceanview rooms have spectacular views and look more colorful and brighter in the photos on the website. Which would you recommend?

We stayed in a beachfront at CSS. The tub is really great--perfect for two. The room had a separate sitting area with a couch. The balcony wasn't that big, but had a table and chairs. Nice to eat on or for smoking cigars. Our room had a really great view and we were so close to the beach. The night of the gala we ate and then went back to our balcony to watch the entertainment.

We also stayed in the Beachfront Suites and my mother inlaw went with and stayed in the Oceanfront. They are basically the same, but the Beachfront Suites are higher up giving you a much better view! In fact, we are coming back in 11 more days and we booked the Beachfront Suite again because we liked it so much.

Beachfront - very small balconies, room for only a small table and 2 chairs
Oceanview - most have huge balconies with a large table, 4 chairs, and either a double padded longer, or 2 single padded loungers, and still lots of room after that!

Beachfront - good views, especially if you are on the 3rd floor, but, just like the views from any other nice resort
Oceanview - amazing views, unique to Sans Souci. Panoramic ocean views that will take your breath away!

Yes, there are stairs, but on the way up and down the stairs, the views are absolutely beautiful.

For us, the One Bedroom Ocean View suites in G block are the best rooms on the rsort!!

Sorry, karyn, but the One Bedroom Beachfront Suites are not the rooms that are higher up, they are on the beach level of the resort. It is the One Bedroom Oceanview Suites that are up in the cliffs that gives you the wonderful views! Also, there is no category called "oceanfront".

the jacuzzi in the 1 bed beachfront suite is nothing to get excited about
it does not fit 2 people
we are 5 8 and 6 3
so maybe smaller people?
I thought it was just the right amount of room for me. LOL

Those have never been available when I have made the reservations. We have only been in Building B on the 3rd floor, and had the One Bedroom Beachfront Suite and we had a great view of everything! The Oceanviews in building B are on the 2nd floor and the views are not as good. who knows, maybe we will be in a different building when we make our return trip in 9 more days.

My bad on the oceanfront, it should be oceanview

I'm 5'8 and my wife is 5'1 and we both fit in the tub and shower together with plenty of room

We did not even use it. We also liked the location because I liked to go to my room to use the bathroom versus the one on the beach. We could even see all the party action from there. We are on our countdown to getting back and I reserved the same type of room. Hopefully we get the same location!

Here is a link to our pictures from our last stay at CSS. We were in a one bedroom oceanview room, G 8, the best room we've ever had! There are some good pictures of our room, balcony and views from the balcony, to give you an idea of what this room category is like, at least the ones that are up in G block.

looks to be the same size, just taken from a further distance. we were in b26

I believe they are talking about the one bedroom ocean suites. The other option is the Ocean Veranda suites. I have stayed in both of these in block D, and in the BF in Block A. We liked all of them. We are staying with the BF because of the location. My husband has COPD and it is worsening each year. The stairs are getting to be a little much for him to take all the time now. But for view any of the two "Ocean" rooms are great.

Buildings A & B are all Beachfront Suites. The Ocean Suites are all up on the cliffs.

My mother in law came with us; in Bldg B she had the Ocean view room on the 2nd floor. My husband and I had the beachfront suite and we were on the 3rd floor in Bldg B. My mother in law just verified with me she was in the ocean view on the 2nd floor. We were there at the same time one floor above her. Unless they ungraded her and she did not know about it, but she paid for the ocean view. This is weird because it is the Caribbean Sea. LOL!

A & B have always been Beach Front. Unless they changed it with this site. The description on the old site had the buildings the rooms are in and the only rooms in A & B were Beach Front. So, maybe she did get an upgrade.
